When under Windows Vista the message "Error initializing the Borland Database Engine" apears its obvious that not the software is bad but there's no compatible installation of the BDE for Windows Vista present. "BDE eXpress for Vista" installs an adapted "Borland Database Engine" (BDE) to acces Paradox- und dBase-Datenbases under Windows Vista. Integrated database backup tool and upgrade of Paradox tables to the vista compatible version 7.
Quite a number of programs use Paradox Datenbases (*.db) to store their data. A database may be damaged rapidly by a Crash, even if the harddisk contains no errors. The corresponding program may show inexplicable behaviour and absurd results. At the worst it works not at all. It seems to be broken. This Maintance Program repairs table errors in very most cases. So it avoids loss of data, data backup or reinstalling of the whole progam.
